Details of Event
Two stone workers appear to have been stemming a shot hole when it exploded, killing Campbell, and injuring the other on chest, arms and chin. There is very little evidence to show how the accident was caused, but it appears probable one of the shots had missed fire, and the stemming was being bored out.
